And pandemic and politics aside, the U.K. has yet another challenge to contend with: Storm Eunice.Billed as Britain’s “worst storm in decades,” Storm Eunice swept onto the British Isles on Friday morning, bringing parts of the country to a standstill due to heavy winds and rain and canceling some flights and train travel.The U.K.’s official weather agency, known as the Met Office, issued a rare “red warning” for some parts of the country, meaning the winds pose a “risk to life.”“The red warning areas indicate a significant danger to life as extremely strong winds provide the potential for damage to structures and flying debris,” Met Office chief meteorologist Paul Gundersen said in a statement, noting that some coastal areas could see gusts in excess of 90mph, while areas inland would experience gusts of between 60-70mph.
The storm means some productions shooting on location — including Netflix’s highly anticipated new season of “The Crown” — have had to suspend filming temporarily. “A couple of units running on location in Surrey today on ‘The Crown’ were called off,” a source close to the production told Variety.
